Tea Dance: Neon Nineties 2026

About Tea Dance: Neon Nineties 2026

Tea Dance: Neon Nineties is part of Denver Pride 2026, landing Saturday, June 20, 2026, as an afternoon kickoff to Pride week. Doors run 4:30pm to 9:30pm at Champagne Tiger, the corner spot at 601 E Colfax Ave in Uptown, tucked into the landmark Tom's Diner building right next to X Bar. DJ Buddy Bravo handles the decks for a throwback set built around a neon nineties theme, so dig out the windbreakers, the choker necklaces, and anything that glows. This one is presented with The Center on Colfax, Denver's longtime LGBTQ+ community hub, which means your afternoon on the dance floor also folds back into the work that keeps Pride going all year. A tea dance is exactly the move for a Saturday like this. You get the energy of a club night with daylight hours, an early finish, and room to actually talk between songs before the bigger weekend parties take over. Expect a warm, mixed crowd, drinks flowing, and a soundtrack that leans firmly into the era of dial-up and butterfly clips. Getting there is easy. Colfax is one of Denver's main transit arteries, so the RTD bus drops you close, and rideshare is the smart call since street parking along this stretch fills fast on weekends. This is a 21+ event, so bring valid ID. One local tip: arrive on the early side. The Colfax corridor gets busy as Pride week ramps up, and the best seats and bar real estate go quickly once the floor warms up.
